As we live in a fast-paced world today, what skills will a corporate legal team need to succeed in the modern in-house industry?
Leadership, teamwork, negotiation, and soft skills are essential in the modern in-house industry. The legal team should always provide timely, truthful, and business-oriented legal advice, detecting and mitigating risks that may arise in the development of the company’s business. Coporate legal teams must have a broad view of all aspects and a practical approach that anticipates problems with solutions.
How do you suggest in-house lawyers build strong relationships with business partners?
Be involved in the business! An in-house lawyer must have a full and complete understanding of the business, so that he or she can understand what the real impacts of any proposed strategy, mitigation measures or relevant risks outlined are.
